KV Kortrijk a Belgian elite club have handed former Super Eagles star, Joseph Akpala the club’s managerial job.
Akpala will serve as the caretaker head coach of the club pending the announcement of a substantive coach.
Akpala will take temporary charge of De Kerels following the sacking of Glen De Boeck.
Boeck was dismissed following the team’s poor run of form in the Belgian pro League.
KV Kortrijk are languishing in bottom position after failing to record a win in their last six games.
It is the third time Akpala will be taking charge of the team this season.
The 37-year-old served as interim head coach before the season started.
The Nigerian also took temporary charge of the team early in the season after Edward Still was sacked due to poor performance.
Akpala will hope to lead Kortrijk to victory when they host Westerlo in a league clash on Friday (today).
